Description: Between 1934 and 1948, the federal government removed more than 50 Inuit from their ancestral homes to work at the Hudson's Bay Company outpost on Devon Island. The federal government tricked them into believing they would only have to relocate for two years. On Thursday, Canada’s Crown-Indigenous Relations minister apologized on behalf of the federal government.
